Thanks for the Welcome,
My apologies for the all-caps. No shouting intended, so thank you TheGhurka and Hagar for the correction.
The Ghurka,
Thanks for your informing reply. I had wondered whether or not I was actually importing. Now I see that I was not. Then my question is changed somewhat, but the subject is the same. Can Open Office do as Microsoft Office does, in allowing me to import data from a spreadsheet into an editable table?
For example, with Microsoft Access, I can use FILE>Get External Data>Import>Files of Type>Microsoft Excel. In so doing, I am able to automatically create an editable table out of my excel spreadsheets. Can I use Open Office in a similar way, to import data from a spreadsheet into a table that I can still make changes to in the future? Are you saying that HSQLdb is a part of Open Office which can perform this task?
Thanks for your time, and patience with my ignorance.
